Cerebral cortex
Frontal Lobe
All sensory and motor signals travel to and from the body through this major structure
Spinal cord
Since it is the newest area of the brain evolutionary speaking, the cerebral cortex is also known as this
Neocortex
Largely responsible for processing somatosensory information, this brain region is also instrumental in mathematical calculations
Parietal lobe
Connecting the halves of the brain, this structure makes sure both sides of the body move in unison
corpus callosum
This liquid in the brain is responsible for immunological defense, as well as protection from physical trauma
Cerebrospinal fluid
This sense is the only one with a dedicated brain lobe
Vision
This structure is vital for forming new memories as shown in the case of HM
Hippocampus
This ventricle exits directly into the spinal cord
Fourth ventricle
This lobe is the location of the primary auditory cortex
Temporal lobe
Responsible for the folded appearance of the brain, the ridges and depressions are known as these
Gyri and sulci
From innermost to outmost, these brain layers are responsible for protection of the organ
Skull, dura matter, arachnoid membrane, subarachnoid space, pia matter
Despite being smaller than the entire cerebral cortex, this area contains 4 times the neurons
Cerebellum
From the cervical regions to the coccyx, there are this many pairs of spinal nerves
31
This emotional processing area is also responsible for the feeling of fear
Amygdala
